IF you do not have soft water, that is you have sufficient hardness and
your pH is
above 7, then you may want to try copper sulfate... it comes in treatment
for ponds.
oh hell didnt see you didnt have fish... blast it with copper sulfate, get
it cheap
somewhere. will kill the little buggers. I hate snails. Ingrid

hi,

i have a pond that is infested with pond snails - so much so that their
dead
shells block my filter pumps & filters. Is there anything anyone here can
recommend for ridding my pond of these things. I have no fish and minimal
planting.
